According to the Pacific Business Journal report, a ruling has recently been issued by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission (PUC) that aims to halt the state’s current metering program. The ruling hopes to approve two newly developed programs for any customers who are looking to install solar, self and grid-supply options. These new options will compensate customers at a new fixed rate but only if they are actively supplying power back to the grid. They must provide customers with a minimum bill if they do not.

Hawaii is pushing towards its goal of using 100% renewable energy by 2045.
